SPOILER ALERT: Because the Swede is taciturn and the Dane homicidal, the makers of hit television show The Bridge have set their sights on Norway... but who will they pick to keep the killer drama on track? Read on in The Local's second year-ahead prediction.

Building a Bridge with Norway

Martin Rohde staring out of the back of a police car at his Swedish colleague Saga Norén... that scene hammered a final nail in the coffin of their enticing professional relationship. The season two finale of The Bridge saw the lackadaisical and self-destructive Dane shipped off to prison after his Asperger-afflicted Malmö colleague ratted on him.

We predict that rising star Anders Baasmo Christiansen, the drunken womanizer from TV show Dag and supporting actor from the film Kontiki, will come in and add some much-needed light-hearted balance to Norén's inability to smile and Rodhe's inability not to kill people. You know, when all else fails, bring in the Norwegian.

Frankly, we're not industry reporters, so let's call this less of a prediction than a clearly stated (genius) idea.
